Abstract :Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rare inheritable cardiac channelopathy characterized by malignant polymorphic ventricular tachycardias that are triggered by catecholaminergic stress. During physical exercise or emotional stress, patients typically encounter syncope or sudden cardiac death within the first two decades of life. Here, we report the case of a nine-year-old female patient suffered from syncope due to feeling fear or anxiety to enter crowded environments. She was examined and followed up by several other departments, however no significant improvement of her symptoms was observed and then referred to our clinic. Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia was detected at the end of cardiac examinations and successfully treated with propranolol. In patients with recurrent syncope attacks and dizziness, rhythm disturbances should be kept in mind that if it occurs especially after effort or emotional stress.
